Long Stay Parking

Daily rate hits $15, so Long Stay Parking suits short trips

POS treats “Long Stay Parking” as the same on-airport surface lot next to the North Terminal, about 0.5 miles from the main road. You park in the general car park; there’s no separate fenced long‑stay compound. Most people just walk the 3 minutes to the terminal and skip the shuttle entirely.

Pricing runs about $15.00 per day or $100.00 per week, which locals say feels steep if you’re gone longer than 3–4 days. Reviewers often mention that for a full week, a taxi from Port of Spain or the East–West Corridor can undercut that $100 total, especially if you’re traveling with only one or two people.

This is true on-airport parking, so you stay landside and keep your own keys. Security reports mention perimeter fencing, entrance gates, and roaming guards, but there are occasional notes about break‑ins across multi‑day stays. Regulars say they avoid leaving laptops, cash, or visible bags in the car overnight, especially when parked for 2–3 days or more.

There is a shuttle option listed at around 10 minutes travel time with pickups about every 15 minutes, but with a flat 3‑minute walk, almost everyone just walks unless they have heavy luggage or mobility issues. That short walk is the tradeoff: you get control over your timing for a 3:00–4:00 a.m. departure from outside Port of Spain without waiting on a driver.

Watch out for two things: the lot can feel dark and empty if you land on a 1:00 a.m. arrival, and there’s limited shade, so cars parked for several days come back extremely hot, especially in the dry season. Tip: if you’re staying more than three nights, run the math—$100 per week vs a round‑trip taxi—before you commit to leaving the car.
